We learned in the Sales Advisor Essentials program that gaining access to the key decision maker in a small and medium sized business is relatively straightforward. But the way you reach out to them, the questions you ask, and how you listen matters. Choose your words carefully. Pay attention to what the founder or head of marketing says. Visit in person when possible. Pick up the phone when not. Focus on establishing a strong rapport.
In this course we will review resources and ideas for reaching prospective members and what to say to them:
Walk through any neighborhood, market, or shoreline, and you will see it. Plastic is everywhere. It’s not because people do not care, but because plastic has become part of everyday life. From sachets to bottles to food containers, it is built into how products are designed, sold, and consumed.
Most people assume that if a plastic item has a recycling symbol, it will eventually be recycled.
But in reality, not all plastics are recyclable in practice. And more importantly, not all plastics are actually collected and processed.
Globally, only about 9% of plastic waste has ever been recycled.
Understanding which plastics are recyclable and how to identify them is the first step toward reducing plastic waste and meeting sustainability goals, especially for companies navigating Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the Philippines.1
